I have that box set. Amazing performances and well recorded.
Edit: To complement this set, the 9th symphony was also released on Blu-ray with Abbado also conducting the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. I have it!

On 15 September 1945, back at his home during the Allied occupation of Austria, Webern was shot and killed by an American Army soldier following the arrest of his son-in-law for black market activities. This incident occurred when, three-quarters of an hour before a curfew was to have gone into effect, he stepped outside the house so as not to disturb his sleeping grandchildren, in order to enjoy a few draws on a cigar given him that evening by his son-in-law. The soldier responsible for his death was U. S. Army cook PFC Raymond Norwood Bell of North Carolina, who was overcome by remorse and died of alcoholism in 1955.[69]

I traveled from Worchester, MA to Chicago by train last November to see Tenebrae perform this at the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. I was in the front row, 4th seat on the right. Incredible experience. Joby Talbot was in Chicago for the opening of one of his operas, so he and Nigel Short did a talk before the concert. As Nigel Short said, "Path of Miracles" is unique in the choral repertoire. A great piece of music, performed by one of the best chamber choirs in the world.
